A Pirates Life for Me - Chapter 1

Disclaimer: Anna is my own character and again, this is not accurate to the film, and enjoy!

It had been 2 years since Anna de Draaier was washed up onto the golden shores of Port Royal. She had been welcomed onto the island by a young man named Will Turner. She had become with him and helped in the Blacksmith's. She had told of her adventures to many people in the port, including Governor Swann. As much as Anna disliked the Pirate's life, she grew to miss it very much, especially Jack Sparrow.It was on the very day of 25th May 1765 that again everything was about to change…

It started out a bright sunny day as the Royal Navy came into Port. Anna was in the Blacksmith's helping Will clean up.

"I just got to get an order from the governor" smiled Will as he put his jacket on.

"Or an excuse to see Elizabeth?" grinned Anna

"Very funny" remarked Will as he walked out the door.

Anna went to the window to see the navy unloading supplies, it look as if they was staying for a while.

She stood there thinking about her misfortunate tale when she remembered what Jack said "_we're see each other again, I promise'_

"Yeah right" mumbled Anna out loud.

Suddenly a middle aged man, with pulled back grey hair in a navy uniform came along.

"Excuse me miss, I'm Gibbs, a sailor on the navy vessel, I have come here to place an order for some swords" cheerily said the man.

"Sure, how many?" questioned Anna

"Twelve" he answered

"And when will you need them by?" she asked

"Well, as soon as possible, but we're leaving in tow weeks, so by then" he smiled

"Ok" smiled Anna "And if you don't mind me asking, why is the navy here, just out of curiosity"

"Pirates, just to keep a look out" he said "Well, I better be on my way" he added and he walked out.

"Pirates" whispered Anna

A couple of hours later…

Will finally came back from the governor's household.

"See Elizabeth?" grinned Anna

"Yes if you must know" he smiled "Where's Mr. Brown?"

"Where do you think?" remarked Anna

"The pub" laughed Will "So, any orders?"

"Yes, twelve, by two weeks time" she answered

"Twelve? Who for?" exclaimed Will

"The navy" replied Anna

"Ah, yes I saw them. Do you know why they're here?" Will asked

"Do I have to explain everything to you? Pirates!" she said

"Pirates! If I catch one, I won't let it get away!" raged Will

"What have you got against pirates?" asked Anna

"They killed my father" he said sadly "Surely you should have something against them, they kidnap you and stab you in the stomach" he added "But there not all bad, like Jack you remember me talking about him? And the one that helped me escape?" snapped Anna

"But they're still pirates" remarked Will

"Yes, and they're like everyone else, expect they're free" glared Anna

The Will got up and started to make the swords for the navy. An awkward silence had come over them, and then there was a knock at the door.

"Come in!" Anna called

Then through the door, gracefully walked Elizabeth Swann.

"Elizabeth! What are you doing here?" exclaimed Will

"I have come to invite you to a public ball for the navy, at my father's household" she smiled politely.

"But we're just Blacksmiths!" Shockly answered Will

"But I insist" smiled Elizabeth and she gracefully walked back out.

Anna looked over to Will, who had a huge smile across his face and he said in a daydream "Did that actually just happen?"

"Yes, so now come on, we must get ready!" smiled Anna


	2. Chapter 2 Hope?

That evening…

Anna walked out into the night, where Will was waiting all smartly dressed up.

"You looked wonderful!" smiled Will

She was wearing a dark red dress that had cream extracts, and her hair was pinned up neatly in a bun.

"Not to bad yourself" she laughed

They walked into the governor's household, where it was full of people, mainly from the navy. Will immentidently went over to see Elizabeth and Anna walked over to where some of the navy sailors were talking. Anna sat close by, and looked round over to them, she saw the one that came into the Blacksmith's, Gibbs was it? She thought.

"Jack Sparrow – now there's a pirate legend, the once Captain of the mysterious Black Pearl, his crew mutinied on him and he got marooned, you'll never believe how he escaped" told Gibbs

"How?" excitedly asked one of the younger sailors

"Sea turtles, tow of them. He was there for 3 weeks" smiled Gibbs

Anna had heard the whole tale of Jack Sparrow. She stood up quickly and said "Oh – Mr. Gibbs, I need to talk to you about your order, now"

Gibbs looked curiously at her and followed her outside.

"How can you be sure if Jack Sparrows alive?" questioned Anna

"I thought we was here to talk about my order?" said Gibbs, confused.

"That was an excuse to talk to you, now can you just answer the question" Anna said quickly

"I've seen him, he told me his tale" answered Gibbs

"But his a pirate, your part of the navy, why would he tell you?" she questioned

"Had no uniform on, and well I like pirates" he smiled "Why do you wanna know about Jack?"

"Where did you see him? I must know!" Anna carried on.

"Not until you tell me what all this is about!" ordered Gibbs

She stared at him for a while, unable to know what to do and then she finally said "Alright, you better sit down"

She went through her story about the kidnap, the island, Jack becoming Captain, the fight, marooned and the escape from the ship. She thought she'd leave the curse bit out, in case he thought she was insane.

"Wow, so are you a pirate?" asked Gibbs who was stunned by her story.

"Well, sort of I suppose, but please don't arrest me" pleaded Anna

"No, of course not lass" laughed Gibbs

"So, where did you see him?" she questioned again.

"Tortuga" he said

"Tortuga?" Anna asked

"Aye, Tortuga" Gibbs said again

"You've gotta help me find him!" exclaimed Anna

"I can't…I" Gibbs was then interrupted

"Please!" pleaded Anna

"How? And why can't you find him yourself? Why should I give up job up to help you search for a pirate!" he snapped and walked back into the house.

Anna sat on the steps by herself, thinking of what to do. How could she get to Tortuga by herself? Anna started to walk back to her small little house; she walked back along the beach. She looked out to the sea which was lit up by the moonlight. She looked out more closely and saw a ghostly silhouette of the Black Pearl riding through the waves. Anna stared at it in shock and ran all the way back to her ting home and locked the door. Was she dreaming? Or did she actually see what she thought she saw?

She sat up all night unable to sleep, until finally, her eyes gave up and fell shut…

	3. Chapter 3 Fight

Anna was awoken by a loud knock at the door; she got up and saw it was daylight outside. She first looked out the window to see who it was; but it was only Will, at this Anna walked over to the door and unlocked it.

"Yes?" she said to Will

"I was wondering were you was last night, and then you didn't turn up at the Blacksmith's this morning, what's wrong?" he asked her.

"Nothing, just not feeling too good" Anna lied "Give me an hour and I'll be there to help"

"Don't worry, if you're not feeling well" Will explained

"An hour" Anna sighed and closed the door on him.

An hour past and Anna walked over to the Blacksmith's, where Gibbs was waiting outside.

"Excuse me, Miss, I'm sorry about last night" said Gibbs

"No, you were right" she answered

"But I do want to help you!" he smiled

"You do! But what about the navy?" she asked

"Aye, never like it, to many rules and plus they didn't like the fact I agreed with piracy" he explained

"So, what shall we do?" wondered Anna

"We wait till a pirate ship comes into port and you tell them your story and we get a passage" he replied

"Ok – so meet me when a ship comes in, and thank you Gibbs" smiled Anna and she walked into the Blacksmith's.

"Good day Anna" smiled Will

"Will, sorry about last night" explained Anna "And there's something else"

Will put down what he was working on and came and sat next to her.

"What is it?" asked Will

"I leaving Port Royal" Anna replied, quietly.

"What? Why? Is this a joke?" questioned Will

"It's not a joke, I'm going to look for someone" she answered

"Who?" he asked

"Jack Sparrow" she muttered

"The pirate!" exclaimed Will

"Yes, the pirate!" snapped Anna

"But I don't understand, they kidnap you, stab you and you like them!" said Will

"I never told you the full story" remarked Anna

Will stood there in a state of confusion for a while, when he finally spoke up "Wait! I know why you got stabbed – you fought for him and you lost – but still you're a pirate!"

"A sort of pirate" Anna corrected

"Sort of or not, you're still one" he said pointing a sword towards her.

"Will, I'm still the same person like I have been for the past two years!" exclaimed Anna and she quickly grabbed a sword and pointed it towards him.

"What is this going to achieve?" asked Anna

"One less pirate in the world" he said sharply

"Will, I don't want to do this, but you leave me no choice" Anna answered back and started to cross blades with him.

They threw their swords about the small Blacksmith's back, forth, left and right. Anna didn't realise how good a fighter Will was. It was true what Anna said, she didn't want to fight him, they were friends. They were still fighting strong and Anna thought to herself 'This I won't lose!'

They blast they're swords at each other, both feeling the wind across there face, as they ducked blows and staggered trying to keep out the blades way. In a quick moment Anna threw Will's sword out of his hands and pointed her sword towards him.

"Looks like you need to practise more" grinned Anna and she whacked the sword on his head and Will fell to the ground unconscious.

"Sorry" she whispered in his ear and she ran out, taking the sword with her.

	4. Chapter 4 Pirates on the Horizon

Anna looked round the market square; it was flooded with people buying and selling goods. Market criers shouting their prices and offers. The homeless begging for money, and the rich getting rid of their money. Anna ran around the market square, getting stopped by sellers, she pushed her way through the sea of people and finally found Gibbs.

"Gibbs! We need to hide, or go somewhere, now!" said Anna

"Why?" questioned Gibbs

"There's been an incident" she muttered "Are you sure about still doing this?"

"Aye" he smiled

"Ok, right then – come with me I know a good hiding place" she said and they hurried through the crowd of people. They ran to the cliff top, and sat looking at the waving ocean.

"Not only is it a good hiding place, it has a good view" Anna smiled

"How long do you think we're be here?" asked Gibbs

"Hm, not too sure, I don't think too long, if not I'll get some food" Anna planned.

They sat there, looking out to the ocean as the moonlight made a path upon its rough edges. As there eyes began to give into the moment where they could sleep, they saw some sails on the horizon.

"Gibbs! Look!" exclaimed Anna and then she turned and looked at Gibbs who was sleeping after all it was early morning. Anna walked over to Gibbs who was in a deep sleep; she needed to wake him up, as there was a ship in sight. she then walked over and grabbed his arm and moved his body so he would wake up, but still he laid there, Anna was not in the mood for waiting games so she did the only other thing, she slapped him round the face.

''Wake up you scally wag'' she said slapping both his of his cheeks

Gibbs woke up quick as he felt pain; he opened his eyes and had no idea what was happening and why Anna was slapping him.

''What...what you doing?''' he said, while grabbing her hand and stopping her from slapping him.

''You need to get up'' she snapped

. ''Then why didn't you wake me up'' he said,

''I tried but you where in a deep sleep''.

''Oh...must have been the rum' he said smiling and sat up.

"What is it with pirates and rum?" Anna rolled her eyes.

"So, why did you wake me up?" asked Gibbs

"Because, look there's a ship" pointed Anna

"Aye, come on and its early morning so we hopefully won't get caught" smiled Gibbs.

They both ran down the cliff to make it there by the time the ship was tied up at dock, so if they were pirates they could warn them.

They walked to the stair way of the ship, it was huge and it was called 'The Jewel'

"Permission to come abroad!" called Anna, there was a pause and then a voice called back "Permission granted!"

They walked up onto the deck where the Captain of the ship was waiting.

"Captain Hammoward?" Said Anna, shocked.

"Argh! Well hello Miss Anna!" he smiled

"I thought you gave up the Pirate's life?" questioned Anna

"Correct, but land is just not for me" grinned the old Captain

"Well, it's nice to see you" smiled Anna

"You too, but why aren't you on the Pearl?" asked Captain Alfie

"Captain, there's no time to explain now, the navy are here and are watching out for pirates" explained Anna

"And you want a lift?" smiled the Captain

"Yes please, if that's alright" replied Anna

"Aye its fine" he remarked and then ordered his crew "Set sail, northeast!"

The crew started to move the ship and the sails flung open. A new adventure had dawned…

"So lass, what's become of my ship?" asked the Captain when they were out in the open ocean.

"It's cursed" plainly remarked Anna

"Cursed? How?" asked the Captain

"That I'm not sure about" she answered

"So what exactly happened when I went?" he said

Again, Anna went through her story after Captain Alfie had left.

"Mutiny" snapped the Captain "If I hadn't had left, it could have been me on that island, and you fought for Jack, I wish I had a friend like that" he admired

"Well, the reason I came aboard was to find Jack, because his alive and I want to find him" told Anna

"Aye, a pirate like Jack Sparrow, I'll help, so will the crew" smiled the Captain

	5. Chapter 5 Port Morant

On the Black Pearl…

"26 more pieces to find Captain" a pirate told Barbossa

"Aye" answered Barbossa and he stepped out into the moonlight and revealed himself as a skeleton, along with his cursed crew.

"We need to see Davy Jones" called Barbossa

At this, a monstrous ship crashed from under the waves. They saw the horrid sea phantoms, with the treacherous Davy Jones standing at the head of them. Then the Captain of the Flying Dutchman stepped on to the deck of the Black Pearl, with his slime dripping over the cleaned deck.

"What's ye deal?" Davy Jones asked Barbossa

"I want you to summon the kracken on to Anna de Draaier" explained Barbossa

"Do you know where this person is?" asked Davy as he popped his lip, which was wet with slime.

"We believe she is on a ship called 'The Jewel'" answered Barbossa

"And I get in exchange?" Davy raised his hairless eyebrow

"Twenty of my cursed crew" replied Barbossa

"Twenty five" Davy snapped back

Barbossa sat and thought of his terms then finally agreed "Aye, we have an accord"

"What has she done anyway? Broke your heart?" laughed Davy

"No" snapped Barbossa "she escaped, she knows too much"

Back on the Jewel…

"Where are we heading?" asked Anna to one of the crew named Arthur.

"Aye, we're heading to Port Morant" he answered

"I say we should start off at Tortuga, but Captains orders" muttered Anna

They soon got to Port Morant and begun their search for Jack Sparrow. The island was quiet not at all as busy as Port Royal. The palm trees silently blow through the wind, the sea making a gentle hissing melody, against the pale shore. A few dozen houses laid on the rocky hills, and lifeless market stalls and a ting tavern built the scene of Port Morant.

"Where should we start?" wondered Gibbs

"The tavern" answered Anna

The crew started to over to the tavern, they walked in. it was small, smelly, but it sold rum.

"Can we 'ave a drink, Captain?" asked one of the crew.

"Aye" smiled the Captain

Anna sighed, what was it with rum? She thought and she walked over to the barmaid.

"Excuse me, but has Jack Sparrow been here?" Anna asked

"Jack Sparrow? I've heard of him, but he ain't been 'ere" the barmaid answered

Anna turned back round to see the crew piling down rounds of rum.

"Looks like we're not sailing tonight" mumbled Anna

"Any luck?" Gibbs walked over

"No, not even been here" remarked Anna "Are you sure you really did see him?" she added with doubt in her eyes.

"Aye! Of course I did! Dreadlocks, beard with beads, red bandana, tall, mainly drunk" said Gibbs

"Ok, ok I believe you" she exclaimed

The crew ended up in Port Morant all night because they all got drunk.

"Bloody pirates!" mumbled Anna as she helped them back on the ship.

"Get rest, we leave in the morning" said Captain Alfie, and all of the crew went to the lower decks to sleep.

	6. Chapter 6 Attack

Notes: Thanks for the reviews:D

Morning had come finally, the sun shone brightly in the sky as sea gulls flattered above. Anna walked onto the top deck, where she saw Captain Hammoward and Arthur discussing something about a map. She walked over to them and smiled "Good Morning"

"Ah, morning Anna – no success here then" said the Captain "We were just discussing were to go next"

"We were thing port Thomas" added Arthur

"I think we should try Tortuga first" suggested Anna

"And what would you know?" questioned the Captain

"Well he was seen there" Anna pointed out

"People move, and not all pirates go there" snapped the Captain

"Yes, but we're talking about Jack here" remarked Anna

"Argh! I'm Captain and I'll do as I please!" he answered

"Well, it will be a waste of time then or is it an excuse for all of you to get drunk again because it's closer? You know I'm right!" snapped Anna, as she grew angry.

"Fine! We're go Tortuga! Anything to get you off my ship!" moaned Captain Alfie and he stormed off into his cabin and Anna walked off and climbed into the crow's nest, followed by Gibbs.

"Everything alright lass?" he asked

"Yeah, its just the Captain's temper – all I said was that Jack would probably be in Tortuga!" complained Anna and she stared out into the ocean.

"Aye, so do you we're ye heading?" asked Gibbs

"Tortuga" smiled Anna

A couple of days later…

The Jewel and its crew were out in the middle of the glimmering ocean. The captain was still giving Anna the cold shoulder over their little disagreement a few days past.

"Captain, we're a day away from our destination" called Arthur

"Aye, aye!" the Captain called back.

The day had started out as any normal day upon the pirate ship; the crew did their chores as the boiling sun beamed down onto them and the sea was gently splashing against the ship.

Then all of a sudden the ship whipped to one side and jilted back.

"What's going on?" shouted one of the crew

They all looked down at the side of the ship to see the ocean water bubbling round the edges of the ship.

"Kraken!" someone cried

"Oh don't be so – " Anna started to shout back until she saw the orangey, yellow tentacles came crawling round the mast of the ship, followed by more.

"Oh my…" Anna stared in shock

"MOVE ANNA!" shouted Gibbs, but she still stood silently there staring at the sea beast. The tentacles slowly started to move down to crash the ship, one directly above Anna. Suddenly Gibbs grabbed hold of her and he ran with her in his arms and jumped into the cold, salty water.

"Why is it after us?" asked Anna while she and Gibbs paddled in the ocean. They watched as the kraken pulled its tentacles up high and crashed down onto the ship, ripping it to pieces and swallowing it all, leaving only a few planks of wood and dead bodies floating about on the waters surface.

Then from under the waves crashed a huge ship, it was the Flying Dutchman.

"Make out you're dead" whispered Anna to Gibbs

They both closed eyes and floated on the sea's surface. Anna could not help it but the sea was so relaxing she actually fell asleep…

A couple of hours later the sea got rougher and the salty water splashed over Anna. She suddenly woke up and took a deep breath. She looked around her, no sign of land or even a ship. She was stuck in the middle of the ocean. She couldn't see Gibbs and Anna started panic. She started to cry for help but know one came, as her voice began to fade. She was cold, alone in the hissing waters of the Caribbean. Anna begun to give up as she felt herself fading away in the rough uncharted waters.

Notes: I promise Jack is in the next chapter: D


	7. Chapter 7 Reunited

It was another hour before Anna woke up again, and she found herself to be lucky to be alive and resting on land and not the ocean. She sat up to look around, she saw loads of people; shouting, fighting and drinking a lot. It was also nightfall and all the stars were on display above.

A man walked past her, he was in shabby clothes and had a sword and a bottle of rum in the other hand.

"Excuse me sir, where am I?" Anna asked him.

"Too much rum, eh? Welcome to Tortuga" he grinned and started to walk off.

"Wait!" she called after him "I'm looking for someone, can you help me?"

"Aye, ok lass. What's ye name?" he asked her

"Anna" she replied

"Aye Anna, why are you all wet?" he questioned

"Shipwreck" she answered

"Shipwreck, you say?" he raised his eye brow as like he did not believe her.

"Yes, you got to believe me!" exclaimed Anna

"Calm lass, I believe you, now who was ye looking for?" he asked

"Jack Sparrow" she replied

"Jack Sparrow, huh? I can't help you there, good luck" he snapped quickly and walked off.

"Thanks for the help" she muttered to herself, clearly that man and Jack had meet and had a disagreement. Anna walked over to the streets, with rows of taverns, she looked at all of them and said "I'm gonna be here forever!"

She walked into the first one she saw and it looked the biggest, and was called 'The faithful bride'. She went inside and walked straight up to the bar.

"Have you seen Jack Sparrow?" she asked the barmaid

"Yes, he left not to long ago" she answered

Anna felt hope rush into and she asked impatiently "Do you know where he went?"

"Probably another tavern, now do you mind? People want severing!" the barmaid exclaimed

"Sorry" Anna replied and quickly ran outside.

"What one to go in next?" she wondered to herself, while looking at the rows of bars.

"How 'bout you buy me a rum?" a voice whispered behind her.

Anna had had enough of the people of Tortuga already and turned round and slapped the man round the face, it was only then she realised who it was.

"Jack!" she exclaimed and tears started to roll down her eyes as they hugged each other.

"I thought you was dead!" he laughed

"I thought you was dead too, then I heard you was alive and I came looking for you!" she cried

"See, I kept my promise" smiled Jack then he grabbed Anna's arm and added "Let's go sit down, we need to talk"

They went into a random tavern and went into the dark corner of the bar and sat down.

"So you came alone?" he asked

"Well, a man called Gibbs told me you was alive so we got a ride on a pirate ship that came into port, and you're never guess who was the captain, it was Alfie Hammoward! So then we got attacked by the kraken and I think only I survived" Anna explained

"Gibbs? I think I know who you're on about, some story by the way; I was 'ere for two years, drunk…so how did you escape?" asked Jack

"Sea turtles" she smiled "No, I started to carve a hole in the ship with that knife you gave me, but then Logan helped me escaped. Oh, and thanks for trying to rescue me"

"With a wound like that I thought you were gone" he answered.

Anna smiled "I was only teasing, but Jack something's not right there all –"

"Cursed" Jack finished

"You know about it then, I saw them myself, in the moonlight there all skeletons" she remarked

"Sounds like you 'ad an exciting time" grinned Jack

"I've been in Port Royal for two years, helping in a Blacksmith's" Anna replied

"Right – maybe not that exciting" he laughed

"Jack, did you really escape the island by sea turtles?" she asked

"Yes" he answered

"You're lying!" exclaimed Anna

"I'm not!" he objected

"You are!" she snapped back

"Ok, ok" he gave up and started to whisper in her ear "I was there three days, rum runners gave me a ride 'ere, don't tell anyone!"

Anna burst out laughing "Where did you get the idea of sea turtles?"

"Who knows? But I do need you're help with something" mysteriously said Jack

Anna gave him a strange look and questioned "What would that be with?"

"I wanna get the Pearl back" he informed

"You're joking!" Get a ship off a cursed crew?" Anna said, stunned.

"There will be away, I intend on getting my ship back, and we will just have to wait for the opportune moment, are you in?" asked Jack

"Of course!" exclaimed Anna

"Ok, let's go to the port – we need a ship" he said "Plus everyone's drunk, so they won't realise there ships gone till the morning"

They walked out of the loud tavern and made there way to the port. When they got there, there was a huge range of different ships to choose from. Big ones, small ones, old ones, new ones.

"What about that one?" asked Anna as she pointed to the biggest ship in the port.

"Unfortunately, that needs six or more people to sail and there's two of us" remarked Jack

"Well I don't know!" complained Anna

Jack just ignored her while she complained and mumbled "Bingo" as he started to walk towards a ship or a boat more like. Anna soon realised and caught up. She saw Jack untiring a rope on a small boat, and could only probably fit about two people. It had a ripped white sail with a small red flag and a very ting crow's nest.

"We're stealing it?" asked Anna "I thought we were going to pay!"

"Pay?! Of course not!" exclaimed Jack, unable to believe what she just said.

"Well, hop in" signalled Jack as he finished with the ropes.

They both got in the tiny boat, and pushed it out to sea. At that moment a tall, dark women with long black hair came running down screaming "Hey! That's my boat! Get out! Give it back!"

"Oh no, it's Anamaria" mumbled Jack

"Who?" asked Anna

"An addled pirate" replied Jack

Then suddenly the mad pirate women jumped into the sea, still screaming for her boat, but it was too late Jack and Anna were out of the shallows. Jack smiled, knowing he'd get away with the pirate's ship and he called to her "Love, this is the day you will always remember as the day Captain Jack Sparrow stole your boat!"

Anna rolled her eyes, and they rowed out of the port, and the pirate soon gave up and swam back to shore.

"I thought you said it was night, and everyone would be drunk and asleep?" saracastily remarked Anna

"Pot luck" he answered

They sailed into the middle of the hushing ocean, where the first sight of sun rise dawned.

"Jack, where are we going?" asked Anna

"Wherever the ocean wishes to take us" Jack said in a daydream.

"We could be here for weeks!" complained Anna

Then Jack started to hum a familiar tune and then sang out loud "Yo ho, Yo ho…"

"A pirate's life for me!" Anna finished

And they sailed towards the horizon, unable to know where the ocean was taking them…
